[@nosnojrcj]

She's a heck of a teacher. Nice to see a teacher challenging the crap out of the kids. The way it SHOULD be. So many teachers patronize young kids and they never get challenged. BRAVO!! The HS teacher should be extremely happy.

[@Jonathancotten_]

So good especially for a middle school band. :)

[@Jonathan-ss7zl]

They’re better than my state’s all state lol

[@turtlez8368]

My band director want us to play this this is my first year on band and we like 3/4 lol it's hard

[@nixx_swiftie]

THEYRE BETTER THAN MY MIDDLESCHOOL BAND AND WERE LITERALLY STRUGGLING WITH THE EASIER SHEPERDS HEY

[@hyperplayer8967]

@@nixx_swiftie Its because they all get private lessons

[@kaushik5809]

@@hyperplayer8967 You have to pay for private lessons, so not everyone gets it. You can still get into honors without them though.

[@JohnRolandElliott]

Brava Maestra Williams! And well done, Honors Band! I know that it takes a lot of work to get to the precision that shows in this video. To do all that practice but still preserve the lilting carefree character of the piece is an achievement to be sure. I'm glad you got to prepare and record when you did. Skill and dedication like yours make me proud to be a Texan.

[@thanosave7112]

AMAZING!!

[@oscardakota2876]

Unbelievable! Beautiful. Congratulations!🇨🇦

[@trentl795]

This is like one the level of my high school wind ensemble. And My school is known for their band. Y’all are great.

[@supermarioennerd8687]

Yeah at my hs it’s also called wind ensemble for honors band

[@youthatreadwrong]

Then you needa step it up LOL, Lakewood Middle School (Ohio) is playing this peice as a chamber piece, and faster.

[@trentl795]

@@youthatreadwrong yea I take back what I said about it being better than my high school wind ensemble as now I’m in high school and am more familiar with it but for this being a middle it’s impressive

[@Cybracs]

I am entering highschool, my years of band were So awsome, and I will always miss band,

[@kevinsantana2188]

I love the clarinet soli in the beginning

[@jayala818]

Great performance by your band!!!!

[@dianawolf894]

From what all i've heard, Texas middle school through high school, there is no reason to hold a middle school band back from competing for honors against the top high school groups! Yeaaaaah m.s. band!

[@bambino100011]

DAMN!!! They played that like a Boss!! Puts many HS bands to shame and some college bands too :)

[@ichigo_987]

I mean my high-school played Chopin perfectly so I dont see the issue here?

[@turnne]

Wow...tricky rhythms and meters. I can hear all the parts and even the grace notes placed by the wood winds clearly Very enjoyable to listen to. I am sure what ever high school this school feeds has a VERY happy band director

What are those things attached to the flutes?

I don't know the correct name for them, but I believe they help them know if they're in tune or not.
